		<description><![CDATA[Well, here in Portugal, there was actually a man who was called &quot;Zé do Telhado&quot;, from Baltar, Paredes, and he was the Robin hood from the North. He literally would steal money from rich people to give to the poor. Pretty neat, huh?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Im getting tired of your lists, JFrater, just because you read from a single source (which you have yet to cite) does not mean that it is true. You have to cross-reference, and and assess the credibility of your source! If you weren&#039;t so intellectually lazy, most of your lists and these points would have never been constructed. So please, save us your immature, and superficial drives to overly romanticise the middle ages (why someone would, I don&#039;t know) in an attempt to boast yourself as some kind of intellectual renegade elite. 

I also few sorry for the chumps that believe half the shit you say, and run off to regurgitate it to their friends, spreading even more misinformation. So please, just stop.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Prester John could be some reference to the St. Thomas Christians on the Malabar Coast of India, their written history their dates back to before the advent of christianity with the conquests. 
 
Many historians agree that Robin Hood was a derived name for an outlaw in the 12th century named Robart Hode (Robin is a common shortening of the name) 
 
The site marker for the second tomb of King Arthur at Glastonbury Abbey (or something like that) gives some people cause to believe in a historical Arthur. Written accounts claim in the 11th century, some monks came across the tomb of Arthur underneath the abbey with an inscription like &quot;hoc interis Arturis&quot; or to that effect, and moved the male and female bodies within to an outdoor tomb, when the abbey fell into disrepair and was sacked the tomb was destroyed and the relics have been lost since then (1540&#039;s) ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Stories handed down over generations speak of an Ancient Greek prince called Gathelus who was banished by his father due to his unruly ways. With a number of loyal followers Gathelus entered the service of the pharaoh of  Egypt and eventually married the pharaoh&#8217;s daughter, Scota. He was so infatuated by her he named those that followed him Scotii - children of Scota.  
 
In due time Gathelus sought to rule a land of his own and left Egypt to go to Spain where it is said he founded the kingdom of Castile. But his wanderlust was still strong, and on hearing of a thinly populated land to the north he went to Ireland and settled in the place we now call County Antrim. Many years later the Scotii set forth again to settle in the north of Britain and become the Scots. 
 
It&#8217;s a lovely little story and it&#8217;s a pity it&#8217;s not true. The Scotii belonged to a tribe of Gaelic Celts living in the north of Ireland. The origin of their name is uncertain, but the historian Charles Oman believes it derives from the Gaelic word Scuit (a man cut-off). When they became established on the mainland they would have been cut off from their home in Ireland.

Think about it having sex with a demond then dying at an eairly age and burning in hell forever or living right, dying around 70-130 years of age and never feel the agonoy of fire burning you soul and living in peace forever?! I choose god than a demon that willnever give me anything but a few min. of pleasure. Just think about it.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As to #9, which states &quot;It should be noted that the Book of Mormon suggests that the Native Americans are from two of the lost tribes.&quot;  This isn&#039;t accurate at all.

The Book of Mormon suggests (more than suggests, outright states) three migrations from the &quot;Old World&quot; toi the &quot;New World&quot;. One occurred before the time of Abaraham, when there were no tribes at all.  One migration were of the tribe of Judah about 500 BC.  Judah was not one of the &quot;lost tribes&quot; exiled by the Assyrians.  The last tribe was decended from the Tribe of Manassah - Manassah was a &quot;lost tribe&quot;, but the family who emmigrated to the Americas were remnant decendants of the Lost Tribe living among the tribe of Judah more than 200 years after their Tribe was taken away.  In no way does the Book of Mormon imply they Native Americans were part of the &quot;Lost Tribes&quot;.

It also isn&#039;t correct to imply that the Book of Mormon says all Native Americans descend from these migrations. Although early members of the LDS Church believed that, current interpretation of the Book of Mormon favors a belief that these migrations and their decendants constituted only a small portion of the peoples of the Americas.]]></description>
